Sequential washing vs. thermal treatment: heavy metal management in soil-like material derived from landfills Open
Landfill mining generates large quantities of potentially contaminated soil-like material (SLM) that require treatment before reuse. While most earlier studies have emphasized the characterization and valorization of SLM, the present study…
A novel framework for measuring natural attenuation in the unsaturated zone below MSW dumpsites Open
Natural attenuation is a promising alternative to commonly employed active remediation strategies for municipal solid waste (MSW) dumpsites, such as capping, excavation, or pump-and-treat systems. While several studies and guidelines exist…
Hyperspectral Reflectance Assessment for Preliminary Identification of Degraded Soil Zones in Industrial Sites, India Open
The study explores the potential of next-generation satellite hyperspectral imaging systems for screening and predicting surface‐soil contamination and degradation by exploiting various spectral indices and signature‐matching techniques at…
Identification and assessment of appropriate remediation management techniques for the recovery of soil-like material produced in landfill mining Open
Landfill mining has received major attention in recent years for the reclamation of waste disposal sites, including in developing countries such as India where significant efforts are being made to manage sites in this way. The bulk of the…
Suitability of Laboratory Compaction Procedure for Secondary Materials Open
The present study evaluates the suitability of the modified proctor test (MPT) using single and multiple batch compactions for two types of secondary materials: reclaimed municipal solid waste (RMSW) and MSW incinerated bottom ash (IBA).In…
Qualitative comparison of elemental concentration in soils and other geomaterials using FP-XRF Open
Field portable X-ray fluorescence (FP-XRF) has tremendous potential in geoenvironmental engineering as a qualitative assessment tool. Identification of the elevated concentrations of the selected elements (Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn) in va…
Hospital waste management pilot project in India Open
In India, there is a vast network of health care facilities in both public and private sectors. These range from small clinics and dispensaries, nursing homes, primary health care centres and community health centres, to sub-divisional and…
Closure of municipal solid waste dumps. Site rating for odor impact Open
More than 60% of the waste dumps in India are within 500 m from the communities.The odor impact from these sites may be the sole criterion to prioritize these sites for closure/remediation.The existing rating systems do not consider odor i…
Suitability of hazard rating systems for air contamination from municipal solid waste dumps and improvements to enhance performance Open
Close vicinity of uncontrolled municipal waste sites (or ‘waste dumps’) to well-populated communities makes the air contamination a prominent hazard from the waste dumps. The hazard rating systems, considered useful in prioritizing these s…
